Poisoning from PC?

[Kon123]

Is there any possibility to be poisoned by your PC? I made a new build and the smell of the new hardware was a bit disturbing. My room is not ventilated properly and I was using the PC for like 16 hours non stop. Suddenly one day I felt really bad like I was sick my vision became blurry had headaches and my vision was too "slow" like I was drunk. Run to bed to rest and the next day I was really bad. So here I am and I am still [m]ucked up, my vision, my reflexes, I am dizzy all day long. So is it possible to get poisoned by the "fumes" of your PC?

Mod edit, watch the language.

uh, no you cant get "poisoned" by your pc lol. that is 100% just a coincidence. and the smell was most liklely just the packing material used to protect your parts. a computer does give off any sort of fume

It is remotely possible that lower quality components may not apply the same regs as good quality components and may have materials that outgas something unpleasant.

However the real source is far more likely to be 16 hours non stop usage...

There's no mercury, or lead, unless you've brought cheap cheap unregulated components. And lead would only be an issue if you licked it (a lot).

Thank you for your answers. I am just the classic guy who plays a lot on pc with all doors shut and sleeps on the same room. All of my components are high qual. The outgassing was intense, I mean it smelled like a plastic was burning a bit but nothing obvious. I went to many docs but all seems good but they made a diagnosis which I dont believe a lot. The only thing that is making me believe that is that I had all the doors shut many hours and this "warm" a bit intense smell. I read a post in the forum where a guy said he had poisoned by bromine(used as fire retardant) from his pc.

So you don't believe a doctor, several doctors by all accounts, but you believe some random on a forum who said he had bromine poisoning from his PC.

The reason I have doubts is that I never spoked to any doc about these "outgasses" and the medication he gave me doesnt help a lot. I am a bit worried cause I am like this 4 months non stop.

 

[13thmonkey]

And you are still playing 16hrs a day?

 

[Kon123]

Nope, when all these symptoms started, I stopped. I haven't played since then.

Just to add, on my pc a cable was touching a heatpipe of the cpy cooler. I dont know if this is a problem

you have physical symptoms, see a doctor, if the PC was the cause in any way shape or form you've removed it by not using it.
